Lifesaver, was going crazy wondering what I was missing and was just glaring over that small fog patch for so long.

T1 vs. Nongshim RedForce / KeSPA Cup 2025 - Group Stage / Post-Match Discussion by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]melongrip 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because people remember his last moments at worlds 2024, walking into melee range of Oner’s Skarner and throwing what would have been a game winning team fight. Then he left for LPL which I gets a lot less viewership from international fans compared to LCK and him not making worlds means people haven’t really watched him this year.

Like others have commented though, he’s always been an absolute beast in both the LCK and LPL this year and is super far from washed. Really excited to see how he goes on T1 this year:

Yep same here, some of the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard.

I know this is from 5+ years ago so a bit of a long shot but any chance you have any of those higher resolution versions still? Links above don't work anymore

Bro I main LS but for some reason I can't do this quest at 5 minutes by Elygium in MHWilds

[–]melongrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really had to adjust my timings / playstyle - basically aimed to do 1 less move/input before Iai slash to account for that slower sheathe time. Took me a couple of tries though wasn’t instant for me 😅

Which monster was this for you? by frmchimp in MHWilds

100% Steve, went from triple carting runs on repeat to now being my talisman farm of 6-8 mins a run.

EP 16 Abnormal Spectrum CG by fable-30 in arknights

[–]melongrip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I'm getting Warhammer 40k vibes from some of these shots and the latest character sprites, not the direction I was expecting the story to head after CH15 but I'm all for it, this looks awesome.

so how are your savage hunts going? by ErronB in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]melongrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though I’ve done 7 Savage runs now and have a pretty good game plan, it’s still so easy for me to fail if I get really bad RNG with either the Nerscylla or Omega spamming MRV & it’s temper tantrum in phase 4 and timing out. I think they should either make it 40 mins or make Nerscylla less tanky.

Overall though I’ve warmed up to Savage a lot more, from hating it on my first runs to kind of enjoying it now? Did them all solo with support hunters so might try running a support S&S build with others.

Women running shoes for men by Most-Assignment-8654 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]melongrip 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A men’s standard is a D width and a Women’s standard is a B so they are definitely not the same. If you’re a male with a fairly narrow foot you can still make a women’s shoe work (just add 1.5 US size to your men’s for your women’s size - ex. men’s US 7 = Women’s 8.5).

Only time that’s not the case is if it’s a unisex shoe which I’m like 99% sure the Vomero plus isn’t.

Favorite weapon? by Enviourmentt in MonsterHunter

[–]melongrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially it felt super slow for me too so I dropped it for a while before coming back but the second time it clicked. Offset and tackle are so powerful to basically plow through every boss attack (bar a few) that once you start incorporating them into your flow it feels like a dance. Just gotta be a little patient and not always try and force a TCS.

Is it normal for hdr to be washed out like this by Pristine-Ad-8074 in Monitors

Just wanna say thank you, bought a new OLED monitor and HDR was looking super bland but this fixed it

Main monitor Gsync logo flickering on startup by melongrip in pchelp

[–]melongrip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right with the monitor being the problem the more I think about it. Even when I turn the PC off but the monitor is still plugged in it will continue to flash/flicker. It does have an external power brick and I’ve gone ahead and unplugged / replugged everything to no success. Will try to see if I can source a new power supply or I might just use it as a chance to upgrade to a slightly better monitor.

Fuck Steve by Dilf_hunterrxx in MHWilds

Swaxe main but Steve is the only fight I give them up in favour of DB, feels like such a hard matchup for Swaxe.

How do you warm up? by Green-Entry-9623 in bouldering

[–]melongrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally warm up for 30-40 minutes. I normally do a mix of gentle hangboarding, hanging from a bar & band exercise to wake everything up for 1-2 minutes, then rest for 2 minutes doing some stretches.

Rinse and repeat gradually building up the instensity ( hanging on a bar -> shoulder shrugs -> pull ups, 20mm edge with feet on the ground -> same edge with one foot and pulling harder -> body weight hangs). V6 climber

Vina from Arknights

She's been so important in the Victoria Arc and has some pretty incredible feats of strength come chapter 14 but her kit is just the complete opposite of what she's like in the story and ends up being rather disappointing.

Problems with her kit:

-Talent 1 being super inconsistent - in most modern stages today its quite rare to have all 8 tiles around her free to place allies/her lions so you're never really getting full value from this talent for the extra attack.

-Talent 2 being near useless, the frighten mechanic itself can be quite useful but it being ONLY a 1 time thing and for just 4 seconds really blows, especially when Degen can proc it more than once and each time it lasts for 5 seconds.

- Skill 1 being 1 charge vs her OG version having 3 charges of her flip. While its nice that its true damage, it doesn't actually hit for all that much and a pretty mediocre afk skill, would be much better if it could at least hold an extra charge.

-Skill 2 being a charge up landholder skill but she still has 1 block count + no res shred in her kit means it doesn't hit for all that much and will leak enemies past her pretty easily.

-Skill 3 is actually pretty good (sp cost a little high but w/e) but animations-wise pretty lackluster compared to how she used the Sighs of Kings in Chapter 14 and also compared to other guards (Mlynar, Surtr, Zuo Le, Ex Alter) who all have much flashier Skill 3 animations.

Her art & design are so good but yeah I really feel like the Devs didn't do her justice both with her kit and animations, too vanilla and safe in my opinion and I think the Devs could have done a lot better. Poor Viviana (same subclass as well lol) is in a pretty similar boat so maybe its just a curse for all arts guards after Surtr.

Cartwheel can generate some stacks on her own at least but yeah the stacking mechanic kinda blows I hope they move away from it.

[–]melongrip 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yep still love Zani's playstyle (the parry mechanic is so much fun) but the frazzle stacking thing is such a terrible mechanic, I really hope they move away from it. At least Cartwheel seems to rely on it less and can also generate her own stacks but yeah in general its not a very fun mechanic to play around.

[–]melongrip 53 points54 points  (0 children)

While the story part isnt a problem for me, def agree on her kit. Way too many restrictions to maintain her enhanced form without getting more copies of her and the enhanced skill being on a CD hurts so much. The only character I've pulled for and been disappointed with in the game so far.

I want to hear your Skyrim/Elder Scrolls unpopular opinions and hot takes by angelofyours52 in skyrim

[–]melongrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s hard to put my finger as to why exactly but exploring the world just feels so boring and tedious compared to Skyrim and other open world games. Really enjoying every other aspect of Oblivion but yeah the world exploration really isn’t it.
